Alox series made for China SAK guys

Between about 2009 and 2015 a Chinese SAK forum ordered a few Alox special run from Victorinox.
There are some info gaps in my list below. So if you have any info about these please let me know. Pictures are from the ones I own.

Year Model Color Quantity Numbered Remarks
? Rambler light blue 130 no no engraving
? Harvester red 100 yes blade etching
? Rancher red 300 no no engraving
? Rancher gold 300 no no engraving
? Harvester orange, red shield 80 no no engraving

2013 Sea Pioneer blue 180 no blade etching
2014 Wilderness lime-green 80 no no engraving
2015 Pioneer silver 50 no blade etching
2015 Farmer petrol blue ? no no engraving

The red Harvester is numbered. But it seems the engraver was drunk. The number on my knife is 001/072 but it is supposed to be 072/100.

The orange Harvester has a different shade of orange. It’s darker than the Naranja orange and the standard orange from Solo.

Pioneer 25 Jahre Festungsmuseum Reuenthal

Im Jahre 2014, zum 25 jährigen Jubiläum, hat das Festungsmuseum Reuenthal ein Alox Pioneer heraus gegeben. Das Messer ist ein Victorinox standard Model  Pioneer in silber mit rotem Schild. Die Klinge trägt die Aufschrift “25 Jahre Festungsmuseum Reuenthal” als Ätzung. Das rückseitige Gravurfeld trägt ein Bild eines Festungs Artillerie Kragenspiegels und die Schrift FMR 1989 – 2014. Es wurden 100 Stück dieses Messers hergestellt.

In 2014 the “Fortress Museum Reuenthal” ordered 100 pieces of the standard silver Pioneer from Victorinox. It commemorates it’s 25th anniversary with an blade etching and a picture on the engraving panel.

Moonlight Silver Alox

In September 2014 Victorinox released a few Alox models in a new gray color. These knives were ordered by a US dealer and he named the color Moonlight silver. The color is different to the gunmetal blue and Davy’s gray from earlier models but is similar to the gray from Pioneer 2223 special run from October 2013. Moonlight silver is a bit darker that the gray of the Pioneer 2223 which is more silvery.
Some pictures below show a color comparison between Davy’s gray – Moonlight silver – Pioneer 2223 gray.

Black Pioneer with red shield

In July 2014 Victorinox released a new black Alox Pioneer with red shield. This is not a limited edition! After years with only small limited run of colored Alox, Victorinox finally realized people like colored Alox knives!

In 2012 the first black Pioneer with red shield was released as a limited special run of only 50 pieces. That run didn’t have a key ring but was engraved with a serial number nn/50 and was intended for collectors.
